jschaf Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Switching from a dumb phone to a smart phone. I am offered plans including 200 MB, 2 GB, 4 GB data. WAG tells me to get the 2 GB plan. I guess my question is: Has anyone ever been seriously dinged from getting a 2 GB plan & going over? It's just my wife & myself on the plan. Thanks in advance.

max power Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Go unlimited. You have no idea how much you will use it until you have it. I barely get on my computer anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a droid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I haven't had my DX for a month yet but I went with the unlimited plan. I would rather not get raped with overage charges and I can always downgrade my plan later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a droid.droid 1, official VZW release states that droid 1 doesn't have the hardware capability to wi-fi tether... I partially just like to do it to make them looks like twats, but the laptop makes most websites easier to navigate as well, in addition to the larger screen for video and whatnot...

Cdubyah Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Go unlimited. You have no idea how much you will use it until you have it. I barely get on my computer anymore.Verizon and all of their infinite wisdom did away with unlimited plans. Unless you already have it. The options he listed are the only ones available now for new plans.I rarely use 2GB of data. I've had my droid since the release. It was probably higher when I 1st got it.

Again, excluding ipad or samsung galaxy tab.Sorry, upon further reading they are doing away with unlimited, and going to a tier structure. Article's I've read said mid summer. Pretty shitty may weather for mid-summer. So maybe they have cut it out, and maybe they haven't. Yay for cell phones companies gouging the customers some more.http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-20037878-233.htmlThis was March 1st.
